In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position at June 30, 2008, the results of operations for the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 and changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The statements should be read in conjunction with the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007 (the “2007 Form 10-K”) of Middleburg Financial Corporation (the “Company”). The results of operations for the three month and the six month periods ended June 30, 2008 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. See Note 10 for a discussion of the consolidation of Southern Trust Mortgage, LLC.

 

Note 2.

Stock–Based Compensation Plan

 

As of June 30, 2008, the Company sponsored one stock-based compensation plan (the 2006 Equity Compensation Plan), which provides for the granting of stock options, stock appreciation rights, stock awards, performance share awards, incentive awards and stock units. The 2006 Equity Compensation Plan was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the Annual Meeting held on April 26, 2006 and has succeeded the Company’s 1997 Stock Incentive Plan. Under the plan, the Company may grant stock-based compensation to its directors, officers, employees and other persons the Company determines have contributed to the profits or growth of the Company. The Company may grant awards with respect to up to 255,000 shares of common stock under the 2006 Equity Compensation Plan.

 

The Company granted 7,948 stock awards (non-vested shares) in March 2007. The shares are split equally between service condition awards and performance condition awards. The requisite service period for the awards is three years. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded $21,000 in compensation expense related to these grants.

 

The Company granted 9,051 stock awards (non-vested shares) in June 2008. The shares are service condition awards. The requisite service period for the awards is three years. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recorded $4,000 in compensation expense related to these grants.

The unrealized losses in the portfolio as of June 30, 2008 are considered temporary and are a result of the current interest rate environment and not increased credit risk. Of the temporarily impaired securities, 106 are investment grade and one is non-rated. The federal agency mortgage-backed securities have the largest temporary impairment but are issued by government sponsored enterprises (Federal National Mortgage Association and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation). The non-rated security

 

10

 


is issued by a local municipality. As a result of this investment, the Company receives credit under the Community Reinvestment Act. Market prices change daily and are affected by conditions beyond the control of the Company. Although the Company has the ability and intent to hold these securities until the temporary loss is recovered, decisions by management may necessitate the sale before the loss is fully recovered. Investment decisions reflect the strategic asset/liability objectives of the Company. The investment portfolio is analyzed frequently and managed to provide an overall positive impact to the Company’s income statement and balance sheet.

Note 7.

Segment Reporting

 

The Company operates in a decentralized fashion in three principal business activities: retail banking services; wealth management services; and mortgage banking services. Revenue from retail banking activities consists primarily of interest earned on loans and investment securities and service charges.

 

13

 


Revenue from the wealth management activities is comprised of fees based upon the market value of the accounts under administration. The wealth management services are conducted by the two subsidiaries of Middleburg Investment Group, Inc - Middleburg Trust Company and Middleburg Investment Advisors, Inc. and the investment services department of Middleburg Bank.

 

Revenue from the mortgage banking activities is comprised of interest earned on loans and fees received as a result of the mortgage origination process. The mortgage banking services are conducted by Southern Trust Mortgage.

 

Middleburg Bank and the Company have assets in custody with Middleburg Trust Company and accordingly pay Middleburg Trust Company a monthly fee. Middleburg Bank also pays interest to Middleburg Trust Company, Middleburg Investment Advisors and Southern Trust Mortgage on deposit accounts that each company has at Middleburg Bank. Southern Trust Mortgage has an outstanding line of credit for which it pays interest to Middleburg Bank. Middleburg Bank provides office space and data processing services to Southern Trust Mortgage for which it receives rental and fee income. Middleburg Investment Advisors pays the Company a management fee each month for accounting and other services provided. Transactions related to these relationships are eliminated to reach consolidated totals.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R), Business Combinations. SFAS No. 141(R) will significantly change the financial accounting and reporting of business combination transactions. SFAS No. 141(R) establishes the criteria for how an acquiring entity in a business combination recognizes the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the transaction; establishes the acquisition date fair value as the measurement objective for all assets acquired and liabilities assumed; and requires the acquirer to disclose to investors and other users all of the information they need to evaluate and understand the nature and financial effect of the business combination. Acquisition related costs including finder's fees, advisory, legal, accounting valuation and other professional and consulting fees are required to be expensed as incurred. SFAS No. 141(R) is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008 and early implementation is not permitted. The Company has previously acquired ownership interest in several entities and may continue to do so in the future. Therefore, the Company expects that the implementation of SFAS No. 141(R) may have a material impact on its future consolidated financial statements, but does not anticipate a material effect on its consolidated financial statements at the date of adoption.

 

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements – an amendment of ARB No. 51. SFAS No. 160 requires the Company to establish accounting and reporting standards for the non-controlling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company does not expect the implementation of SFAS No. 160 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133. SFAS No. 161 changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosures about how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations; and how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application permitted. The Company does not expect the implementation of SFAS No. 161 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

In June 2008, the FASB finalized Staff Position (“FSP”) No. EITF03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions Are Participating Securities. This FSP affects entities that accrue cash dividends on share-based payment awards during the awards’ service period when dividends do not need to be returned if the employees forfeit the awards. The FASB concluded that all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain rights to non-forfeitable dividends participate in undistributed earnings with common shareholders. Because the awards are considered participating securities, the issuing entity is required to apply the two-class method of computing basic and diluted earnings per share. The FASB also concluded that because the FSP applies to all outstanding unvested share-based payment awards that contain right to non-forfeitable dividends, changes in an entity’s forfeiture estimates from one reporting period to the next do not affect the computation of earnings per share, other than for the increase or decrease in compensation cost as a result of the application of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. The transition guidance in the FSP requires an entity to retroactively adjust all prior-period earnings per share computations to reflect the FSP’s provisions. The retroactive adjustments encompass earnings per share computations included in interim financial statements. Early adoption of the FSP is not permitted. The FSP is effective for fiscal

 

17

 


years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that this FSP will have on its financial statements when implemented.

 

Note 10.

Consolidation of Southern Trust Mortgage

 

In February 2008, Middleburg Bank approved a $5 million line of credit to Southern Trust Mortgage. The line of credit is secured by residential construction loans. As a result of the extension of credit, the Company was deemed to be the primary beneficiary as defined in FASB Interpretation No. 46(R), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities – an interpretation of ARB No. 51.” Accordingly, the Company consolidated the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of Southern Trust Mortgage and reflected the issued and outstanding interest not held by the Company in its financial statements as Minority Interest in Consolidated Variable Interest Entity in its March 31, 2008 Form 10Q. Prior periods were not restated to reflect that accounting treatment and may affect comparability. At March 31, 2008, the Company owned 42.3% of the issued and outstanding membership interest units of Southern Trust Mortgage, through its subsidiary, Middleburg Bank.

 

In May 2008, Middleburg Bank acquired the membership interest units of one of the partners of Southern Trust Mortgage for $1.6 million. As a result, the Company’s ownership interest exceeded 50% of the issued and outstanding membership units. Accordingly, the Company is required to consolidate the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of Southern Trust Mortgage and reflect the issued and outstanding interest not held by the Company in its financial statements as Minority Interest in Consolidated Subsidiary. Prior periods have not restated to reflect this accounting treatment and may affect comparability. At June 30, 2008, the Company owned 57.1% of the issued and outstanding membership interest units of Southern Trust Mortgage, through its subsidiary, Middleburg Bank.

 

Note 11.

Fair Value Measurements

 

SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, establishes a three-level valuation hierarchy for disclosure of fair value measurement and enhances disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date. The three levels are defined as follow:

 

Level 1 - inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

 

Level 2 - inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.

 

Level 3 - inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable and significant to the fair value

measurement.

 

18

 


Following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy:

 

Securities

 

Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within level 1 of the valuation hierarchy. Level 1 securities would include highly liquid government bonds, mortgage products and exchange traded equities. If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flow. Level 2 securities would include U.S. agency securities, mortgage-backed agency securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions and certain corporate, asset backed and other securities. In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within level 3 of the valuation hierarchy. Currently, all of the Company’s securities are considered to be Level 2 securities.

 

Loans held for sale

 

Loans held for sale which is required to be measured in a lower of cost or fair value. Under SFAS No. 157, market value is to represent fair value. The Company obtains quotes or bids on all or part of these loans directly from the purchasing financial institutions. Premiums received or to be received on the quotes or bids are indicative of the fact that cost is lower than fair value. At June 30, 2008, the entire balance of loans held for sale was recorded at cost.

 

Impaired loans

 

SFAS No. 157 applies to loans measured for impairment using the practical expedients permitted by SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, including impaired loans measured at an observable market price (if available), or at the fair value of the loan’s collateral (if the loan is collateral dependent). Fair value of the loan’s collateral, when the loan is dependent on collateral, is determined by appraisals or independent valuation which is then adjusted for the cost related to liquidation of the collateral.

 

Other Real Estate Owned

 

Certain assets such as other real estate owned are measured at fair value less cost to sell. The Company believes that the fair value component in its valuation follows the provisions of SFAS No. 157.

Item 2.   MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition at June 30, 2008 and results of operations of the Company for the three months and the six months ended June 30, 2008 should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this report and in the 2007 Form 10-K. It should also be read in conjunction with the “Caution About Forward Looking Statements” section at the end of this discussion.

 

Overview

 

The Company is headquartered in Middleburg, Virginia and conducts its primary operations through two wholly owned subsidiaries, Middleburg Bank and Middleburg Investment Group, Inc and a majority owned subsidiary, Southern Trust Mortgage, LLC. Middleburg Bank is a community bank serving the Virginia counties of Loudoun, Fairfax and Fauquier with seven financial service centers and two limited service facilities. Middleburg Investment Group is a non-bank holding company with two wholly owned subsidiaries, Middleburg Trust Company and Middleburg Investment Advisors, Inc. Middleburg Trust Company is a trust company headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, and maintains offices in Williamsburg, Virginia and in several of Middleburg Bank’s facilities. Middleburg Investment Advisors is a registered investment advisor headquartered in Alexandria, Virginia serving clients in 24 states. Southern Trust Mortgage is a regional mortgage company headquartered in Norfolk, Virginia and maintains offices in Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina and South Carolina.

 

The Company operates under a business model that makes all of its financial and wealth management services available to its clients at all of its financial service centers. Financial service centers are larger than most traditional retail banking branches in order to allow commercial, mortgage, retail and wealth management personnel and services to be readily available to serve clients. By working together in the financial service center and the market, the team at each financial service center becomes more effective in expanding relationships with current clients and new clients. The Company’s goal is to assist in the creation, preservation and ultimate transfer of the wealth of its clients.

 

The Company generates a significant amount of its income from the net interest income earned by Middleburg Bank. Net interest income is the difference between interest income and interest expense. Interest income depends on the amount of interest-earning assets outstanding during the period and the interest rates earned thereon. The Company’s cost of money is a function of the average amount of deposits and borrowed money outstanding during the period and the interest rates paid thereon. The quality of the assets further influences the amount of interest income lost on non-accrual loans and the amount of additions to the allowance for loan losses. Middleburg Bank also generates income from fees on deposits and loans.

 

Middleburg Investment Group’s subsidiaries, Middleburg Trust Company and Middleburg Investment Advisors, generate fee income by providing investment management and trust services to their clients. Investment management and trust fees are generally based upon the value of assets under administration and, therefore, can be significantly affected by fluctuation in the values of securities caused by changes in the capital markets.

 

Southern Trust Mortgage generates fees from the origination and sale of mortgages loans. Southern Trust Mortgage also maintains a real estate construction portfolio and receives interest and fee income from these loans, which, net of interest expense, is included in net interest income.

Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2008 decreased to $514,000 from $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Annualized returns on average assets and equity for the six months ended June 30, 2008 were 0.3% and 3.3%, respectively, compared to 1.0% and 10.1% for the same period in 2007. Gains and losses on securities have not been annualized for the return on average assets and return on average equity calculations, nor has the salary adjustment related to the conversion of the Company’s time and attendance software. The Company recognized losses in its loan portfolio resulting in net charge-offs against the reserves for loan losses of $3.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008. As a result of the evaluation of the adequacy of the reserves for loan loss, subsequent to the recognition of net charge-offs, the Company increased its reserves for loan losses at Middleburg Bank, through recognition of bad debt expense, by $3.2 million. The Company also increased its reserves for loan losses at Southern Trust Mortgage, through recognition of bad debt expense, by $1.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008.

 

Total interest income increased $3.9 million or 16.1%, for the six months ended June 30, 2008, when compared to the same period in 2007. Interest and fees on loans increased 17.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 to $24.1 million, compared to $20.6 million for the same period in 2007. Total interest expense was $11.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $10.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. While interest expense on deposits for the six months ended June 30, 2008 increased 5.9% when compared same period in 2007, the average balance of interest bearing deposits increased 9.6% during the six month ended June 30, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007. Other income increased $4.7 million to $9.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, when compared to the same period in 2007. The consolidation of Southern Trust Mortgage contributed $4.6 million to the increase in other income. Total other expense was $20.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $11.9 million for the same period in 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, salaries and employees’ benefits increased $6.1 million, which includes $5.1 million in salaries and employees’ benefits expense at Southern Trust Mortgage.

 

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 decreased to $361,000 from $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007. Net charge-offs against the reserves for loan losses were $1.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2008. The Company increased its reserves for loan losses at Middleburg Bank and Southern Trust Mortgage, through recognition of bad debt expense, by $1.3 million and by $1.0 million, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2008. Total interest income increased $1.6 million or 13.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2008, when compared to the same period in 2007. Interest and fees on loans increased 12.6% for the three months ended June 30, 2008 to $11.9 million, compared to $10.6 million for the same period in 2007. Total interest expense was relatively unchanged at $5.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007. Other income increased $1.9 million to $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008, when compared to the same period in 2007. Total other expense was $10.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $6.1 million for the same period in 2007. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, salaries and employees’ benefits increased $2.9 million, which includes $2.7 million in salaries and employees’ benefits expense at Southern Trust Mortgage. The consolidation of Southern Trust Mortgage has impacted several categories of the financial statements. The impact is described in greater detail in the Financial Condition and Results of Operations sections below, as necessary.

 

The Company is not aware of any current recommendations by any regulatory authorities that, if they were implemented, would have a material effect on the registrant’s liquidity, capital resources or results of operations.

 

21

 


Critical Accounting Policies

 

General

 

The financial condition and results of operations presented in the Consolidated Financial Statements, the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and this section are, to a large degree, dependent upon the accounting policies of the Company. The selection and application of these accounting policies involve judgments, estimates, and uncertainties that are susceptible to change.

 

Presented below is discussion of those accounting policies that management believes are the most important (“Critical Accounting Policies”) to the portrayal and understanding of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The Critical Accounting Policies require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments about matters that are inherently uncertain. In the event that different assumptions or conditions were to prevail, and depending upon the severity of such changes, the possibility of materially different financial condition or results of operations is a reasonable likelihood.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The Company monitors and maintains an allowance for loan losses to absorb an estimate of probable losses inherent in the loan portfolio. The Company maintains policies and procedures that address the systems of controls over the following areas of maintenance of the allowance: the systematic methodology used to determine the appropriate level of the allowance to provide assurance the methodology is maintained in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; the accounting policies for loan charge-offs and recoveries; the assessment and measurement of impairment in the loan portfolio; and the loan grading system.

 

The Company evaluates various loans individually for impairment as required by SFAS No. 114, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan, and SFAS No. 118, Accounting by Creditors for Impairment of a Loan – Income Recognition and Disclosures. Loans evaluated individually for impairment include non-performing loans, such as loans on non-accrual, loans past due by 90 days or more, restructured loans and other loans selected by management. The evaluations are based upon discounted expected cash flows or collateral valuations. If the evaluation shows that a loan is individually impaired, then a specific reserve is established for the amount of impairment.

 

The Company makes estimates of losses for groups of loans as required by SFAS No. 5. Loans are grouped by similar characteristics, including the type of loan, the assigned loan grade and the general collateral type. A loss rate reflecting the expected loss inherent in a group of loans is derived based upon estimates of default rates for a given loan grade, the predominant collateral type for the group and the terms of the loan. The resulting estimate of losses for groups of loans are adjusted for relevant environmental factors and other conditions of the portfolio of loans, including: borrower and industry concentrations; levels and trends in delinquencies, charge-offs and recoveries; changes in underwriting standards and risk selection; level of experience, ability and depth of lending management; and national and local economic conditions.

 

The amount of estimated impairment for individually evaluated loans and groups of loans is added together for a total estimate of loan losses. This estimate of losses is compared to the allowance for loan losses of the Company as of the evaluation date and, if the estimate of losses is greater than the allowance, an additional provision to the allowance would be made. If the estimate of losses is less than the allowance, the degree to which the allowance exceeds the estimate is evaluated to determine whether the allowance falls outside a range of estimates. If the estimate of losses is below the range of reasonable estimates, the allowance would be reduced by way of a credit to the provision for loan losses. The

 

22

 


Company recognizes the inherent imprecision in estimates of losses due to various uncertainties and variability related to the factors used, and therefore a reasonable range around the estimate of losses is derived and used to ascertain whether the allowance is too high. If different assumptions or conditions were to prevail and it is determined that the allowance is not adequate to absorb the new estimate of probable losses, an additional provision for loan losses would be made, which amount may be material to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Intangibles and Goodwill

 

The Company had approximately $6.9 million in intangible assets and goodwill at June 30, 2008, an increase of $1.7 since December 31, 2007. On April 1, 2002, the Company acquired Middleburg Investment Advisors, a registered investment advisor, for $6.0 million. Approximately $5.9 million of the purchase price was allocated to intangible assets and goodwill. In connection with this investment, a purchase price valuation (using SFAS No. 141, Business Combinations, and SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,as a guideline) was completed to determine the appropriate allocation to identified intangibles. The valuation concluded that approximately 42% of the purchase price was related to the acquisition of customer relationships with an amortizable life of 15 years. Another 19% of the purchase price was allocated to a non-compete agreement with an amortizable life of seven years. The remainder of the purchase price has been allocated to goodwill. Approximately $1.0 million of the $6.9 million in intangible assets and goodwill at June 30, 2008 was attributable to the Company’s investment in Middleburg Trust Company. With the consolidation of Southern Trust Mortgage, the Company recognized $1.9 million in goodwill as part of its equity investment.

 

The purchase price allocation process requires management estimates and judgment as to expectations for the life span of various customer relationships as well as the value that key members of management add to the success of the Company. For example, customer attrition rates were determined based upon assumptions that the past five years may predict the future. If the actual attrition rates, among other assumptions, differed from the estimates and judgments used in the purchase price allocation, the amounts recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements could result in a possible impairment of the intangible assets and goodwill or require acceleration in the amortization expense.

 

In addition, SFAS No. 142 requires that goodwill be tested annually using a two-step process. The first step is to identify a potential impairment. The second step measures the amount of the impairment loss, if any. Processes and procedures have been identified for the two-step process.

 

When the Company completes its ongoing review of the recoverability of intangible assets and goodwill, factors that are considered important to determining whether impairment might exist include loss of customers acquired or significant withdrawals of the assets currently under management and/or early retirement or termination of key members of management. Any changes in the key management estimates or judgments could result in an impairment charge, and such a charge could have an adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations. The most recent review was performed in February 2008 and was based on information as of December 31, 2007.

 

Financial Condition

 

Assets, Liabilities and Shareholders’ Equity

 

Total assets for the Company increased to $948.4 million at June 30, 2008, compared to $841.4 million at December 31, 2007, representing an increase of $107.0 million or 12.7%. Total average assets increased 15.1% from $790.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 to $909.7 million for the same period in 2008. Total liabilities were $872.5 million at June 30, 2008, compared to $763.5 million

 

23

 


at December 31, 2007. Total average liabilities increased $116.6 million or 16.4% to $827.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007. Average shareholders’ equity decreased 1.2% or $927,000 million over the same periods. The consolidation of Southern Trust Mortgage contributed $45.5 million to the increase in total assets and $34.1 million to the increase in total average assets.

 

Loans

 

Loans include both portfolio loans and mortgages held for sale. Total loans at June 30, 2008 were $701.6 million, an increase of $56.8 million from the December 31, 2007 amount of $644.8 million. The consolidation of Southern Trust Mortgage contributed $48.4 million to the increase in total loans, of which $42.2 were mortgages held for sale. The remaining $6.2 million were real estate construction loans held by Southern Trust Mortgage. The Company experienced increases in real estate construction loans, which were $107.1 million at June 30, 2008, compared to $96.6 million at December 31, 2007. The $9.5 million increase in real estate construction loans was primarily related to residential construction. Real estate mortgage loans were $497.5 million at June 30, 2008, or 70.9% of total loans, compared to the December 31, 2007 amount of $481.6 million. The $15.9 million increase in real estate mortgage loans held by Middleburg Bank was primarily due to increases in home equity loans and residential loans during 2008. Commercial, financial and agricultural loans were $38.1 million at June 30, 2008, compared to 46.5 million at December 31, 2007. The decrease of $8.4 million is due to decreases in lines of credit. Southern Trust Mortgage has a $5 million line of credit with Middleburg Bank, of which $4.2 million was outstanding at June 30, 2008. The line of credit is eliminated in the consolidation process and is not reflected in the Company’s financial statements.

 

Net charge-offs were $3.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The provision for loan losses for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was $4.4 million compared to $559,000 for the same period in 2007. The increase in the provision is the result of a decision by management to increase Middleburg Bank’s allowance from 1.1% to 1.2% of its total loans, as well as the consolidation of Southern Trust Mortgage, which had an allowance of 3.8% of its total loans at June 30, 2008. The allowance for loan losses was $9.8 million or 1.4% of total loans outstanding at June 30, 2008.

 

Securities

 

Securities increased to $155.4 million at June 30, 2008 compared to $129.1 million at December 31, 2007. The Company increased its securities portfolio in an effort to maintain a source of collateral for public fund deposits and repurchase agreements as well as to invest in earning assets to offset the decline in the loan demand. The Company sold $29.4 million securities and purchased $70.9 million securities during the six months ended June 30, 2008. The securities sold during the six months ended June 30, 2008, included $639,000 in securities previously reported as held-to-maturity in the 2007 Form 10-K. The held-to-maturity securities had maturities of less than 14 months. The Company had the ability to hold these securities, but elected to sell them as part of an adjustment to the securities portfolio. The remaining held-to-maturity included two mortgage backed securities with a book value of $26,000 which the Company has transferred to available for sale. The Company will not maintain a held-to-maturity portfolio for the foreseeable future. The Company will continue to maintain its securities portfolio as a source of liquidity and collateral. At June 30, 2008, the tax equivalent yield on the investment portfolio was 5.46%.

 

Premises and Equipment

 

Premises and equipment increased $1.7 million from $20.6 million at December 31, 2007 to $22.3 million at June 30, 2008. The consolidation of Southern Trust Mortgage contributed $209,000 to

the increase. In February 2008, the Company’s subsidiary, Middleburg Trust Company, opened an office in Williamsburg, which contributed $252,000 to the increase. The remaining increases are the result of the relocation of the Ashburn Financial Service Center and other renovations within the Company’s existing facilities.

 

Other Assets

 

The other assets section of the balance sheet includes Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI), in the amount of $13.2 million at June 30, 2008. The Company had $4.9 million in other real estate owned, which included $1.6 million due to the consolidation of Southern Trust Mortgage. The Company is currently working to sell these assets. Goodwill and identified intangibles of $6.9 million are also included in other asset at June 30, 2008. The $6.9 million is related to the acquisitions of Middleburg Trust Company, Middleburg Investment Advisors and the consolidation of Southern Trust Mortgage.

 

Deposits

 

Deposits increased $71.5 million to $660.2 million at June 30, 2008 from $588.8 million at December 31, 2007.

Average interest bearing demand deposits were $168.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $147.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Average interest bearing deposits were $503.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $448.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007.

 

The Company has an interest bearing product, known as Tredegar Institutional Select, that integrates the use of the cash within client accounts at Middleburg Trust Company for overnight funding at the Bank. The overall balance of this product was $44.1 million at June 30, 2008, compared to $42.6 million at December 31, 2007, and is reflected in both the savings and interest bearing demand deposits and the “securities sold under agreements to repurchase” amounts on the balance sheet. Excluding the Tredegar Institutional Select product, savings and interest bearing demand deposits increased by $12.7 million from December 31, 2007 to June 30, 2008.

 

Time deposits increased $19.4 million from December 31, 2007 to $249.6 million at June 30, 2008. Time deposits included brokered certificates of deposit of $68.7 million with maturities ranging from one to four years. In May 2008, the Company returned to the brokered certificate of deposit market as an alternative to long-term borrowings. The new issuances, totaling $59.9 million, have maturity dates ranging from 9 to 36 months. Securities sold under agreements to repurchase (“Repo Accounts”) decreased $737,000 from $51.8 million at December 31, 2007 to $51.1 million at June 30, 2008. The Repo Accounts include certain long-term commercial checking accounts with average balances that typically exceed $100,000 and all Tredegar Institutional Select accounts maintained by business clients.

 

Short-term Borrowings and Long-term Debt

 

The Company had no FHLB overnight advances at June 30, 2008 compared to $22.0 million at December 31, 2007. Southern Trust Mortgage has a line of credit with Colonial Bank, which is headquartered in Montgomery, Alabama, that is primarily used to fund its mortgages held for sale. At June 30, 2008, this line had an outstanding balance of $43.6 million and is included in total short-term borrowings. The line of credit is based on the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). Southern Trust Mortgage also has a $5.0 million line of credit with Middleburg Bank, of which $4.2 million was outstanding at June 30, 2008. The line of credit is eliminated in the consolidation process and is not reflected in the financial statements of the Company. Long-term debt increased $16.0 million at June 30, 2008 from $88.0 million at December 31, 2007.

Results of Operations

 

Net Interest Income

 

Net interest income is the Company’s primary source of earnings and represents the difference between interest and fees earned on earning assets and the interest expense paid on deposits and other interest bearing liabilities. Net interest income totaled $16.2 million for the first six months of 2008 compared to $13.6 million for the same period in 2007, an increase of 19.1%. Total interest income increased 16.1% and total interest expense increased 12.2% when comparing the six months ended June 30, 2008 to the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in total interest income is primarily the result of increases in interest and fees on loans. In particular, interest and fees from real estate loans increased $2.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2008, when compared to the same period in 2007. Total interest expense was $11.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $10.4 million for the same period in 2007. The increase in total interest expense is primarily the result of increases in interest on deposits and the consolidation interest on short-term borrowings of Southern Trust Mortgage. In particular, interest expense for time deposits increased $536,000 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, when compared to the same period in 2007. Average earning assets were $842.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $726.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The consolidation of Southern Trust Mortgage increased average earning assets $42.1 million.

 

Net interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2008 totaled $8.4 million, compared to $6.8 million for the same period in 2007. When comparing the three months ended June 30, 2008 to the three months ended June 30, 2007, total interest income increased 13.4% while total interest expense decreased 0.6%.

The tax equivalent yield on securities for the three months ended June 30, 2008 decreased 40 basis points to 5.33% compared to 5.73% for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in the size of the portfolio helped to offset the impact of the decrease in yield.

 

Interest expense on deposits increased $413,000 to $7.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $7.0 million for the same period in 2007. Interest expense on deposits for the three months ended June 30, 2008, decreased $15,000 compared to the same period in 2007. The mix of demand and savings deposits versus time deposits changed slightly to 62.2% in savings and demand deposits, versus 37.8% in time deposits at June 30, 2008. At June 30, 2007, the mix had been 63.8% in savings and demand deposits, versus 36.2% in time deposits. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, average deposits increased $55.0 million to $503.8 million, compared to the same period in 2007.

 

Interest expense for securities sold under agreements to repurchase, which includes Tredegar Institutional Select, decreased $181,000 from the three months ended June 30, 2007 to $262,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2008.

The consolidation of Southern Trust Mortgage contributed $965,000 to the increase experienced in short-term borrowings and long-term debt.

 

The net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, was 3.98% for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to 3.91% for the same period in 2007. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, the net interest margin, on a tax equivalent basis, was 4.03% compared to 3.80% for the same period in 2007. The Company’s net interest margin is not a measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, but it is a common measure used by the financial service industry to determine how profitably earning assets are funded. The net interest margin is calculated by dividing tax equivalent net interest income by total average earning assets. Because a portion of interest income earned by the Company is non taxable, the tax equivalent net interest income is considered in the calculation of this ratio. Tax equivalent net interest income is calculated by adding the tax benefit realized from interest income that is nontaxable to total interest income then subtracting total interest expense. The tax rate utilized in calculating the tax benefit for each of 2008 and 2007 is 34.0%. The reconciliation of tax equivalent net interest income, which is not a measurement under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, to net interest income is reflected in the table below.

Average balances in interest checking, regular savings and money market accounts increased by $22.3 million when comparing the three months ended June 30, 2008 to the same period in 2007. The weighted average cost of these accounts for the three months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 was 1.74% and 1.98%, respectively. The average balance of certificates of deposits increased $32.7 million when comparing the three months ended June 30, 2007 to the three months ended June 30, 2008. The weighted average cost of the Company’s certificates of deposits decreased 58 basis points to 4.06% for the three months ended June 30, 2008.

2007. Consolidated investment advisory fees provided by Middleburg Investment Advisors totaled $948,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to $1.1 million for the same period in 2007. At June 30, 2008, assets under administration at Middleburg Investment Advisors had decreased $85.2 million from $565.4 million at June 30, 2007 to $480.2 million. Consolidated fiduciary fees for services, provided by Middleburg Trust Company, decreased 10.8% to $1.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. At June 30, 2008, Middleburg Trust Company managed $568.9 million in assets, including intercompany assets of $123.7 million, a decrease of 6.3% or $38.5 million from assets under administration of $607.4 million, including intercompany assets of $96.1 million, at June 30, 2007. Fiduciary fees are based upon the market value of the accounts under administration.

 

Service charges on deposits were relatively unchanged at $978,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $982,000 for the same period in 2007. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, service charges on deposits decreased 2.1% to $505,000 compared to the same period in 2007. Other service charges, commissions and fees, which include certain loan fees and other retail banking fees, decreased $18,000 or 5.3% to $325,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 when compared to the same period in 2007. Loan processing fees, which are included in other service charges, decreased $20,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. The decrease in loan processing fees is the result of the slower growth in the loan portfolio.

 

The Company sold $34.1 million securities and purchased $76.8 million securities during the six months ended June 30, 2008. The Company has identified an impaired security in its portfolio and has elected to recognize decreases in the fair market value of the security through earnings. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company recognized a loss of $465,000. This amount is included in the net loss of $259,000. For the three months ended June 30, 2008 a loss of $367,000 was recognized as a result of the impaired security. The Company did not realize gains or losses on the sale of securities during the six months ended June 30, 2007.

 

Commissions on investment sales decreased 9.6% to $244,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $270,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, commissions on investment sales decreased 11.2% to $127,000 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2007.

The financial consultants are available to each of the Company’s financial service centers.

 

Equity in earnings from affiliate has been reclassified in 2008 due to the consolidation of Southern Trust Mortgage. The revenues and expenses of Southern Trust Mortgage for the six months ended June 30, 2008 are reflected in the Company’s financial statements on a consolidated basis, with the proportionate share not owned by the Company reported as “Minority Interest in Consolidated Subsidiary.” Accordingly, gains and fees on mortgages held for sale of $5.3 million, which were generated by Southern Trust Mortgage during the six months ended June 30, 2008, are being reported as part of the consolidated other income. For the six months ended June 30, 2007, the Company reported $305,000 from its equity investment in Southern Trust Mortgage. The 2007 amount represents the Company’s share of Southern Trust Mortgage’s net income.

 

Income earned from the Bank’s $13.2 million investment in Bank Owned Life Insurance (BOLI) contributed $131,000 and $245,000 to total other income for the three and the six months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. The Company purchased $6.0 million of BOLI in the third quarter of 2004 and $4.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2004 to help subsidize increasing employee benefit costs and expenses related to the restructure of its supplemental retirement plans.

Other service charges, commissions and fees decreased 5.3% to $325,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $343,000 for the same period in 2007. In particular, loan processing fees decreased approximately $20,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 when compared to the same period in 2007. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, other service charges, commissions and fees were $178,000, compared to $173,000 for the same period in 2007.

 

Other operating income increased $190,000 to $244,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007. The consolidation of Southern Trust Mortgage increased other operating income by $183,000.

 

Other Expense

 

Total other expense includes employee-related costs, occupancy and equipment expense and other overhead. Total other expense increased $4.3 million from $6.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 to $10.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2008. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, total other expense increased to $20.9 million from $11.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. However, when taken as a percentage of total average assets, other expense was 2.3% of total average assets for the six months ended June 30, 2008 and compared to 1.5% in 2007.

 

Salaries and employee benefits increased $6.1 million or 89.0% when comparing the six months ended June 30, 2008 to the six months ended June 30, 2007. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, salaries and employee benefits increased $2.9 million to $6.5 million. The consolidation of Southern Trust Mortgage contributed $5.1 million and $2.7 million to the increases in salaries and employee benefits for the six months and the three months ended June 30, 2008, respectively. During the first quarter 2008, the Company converted its time and attendance tracking system. This conversion necessitated a change in the Company’s pay periods from a current basis to an arrears basis. As a result of this change, the Company incurred an additional semi-monthly payroll expense of $440,000 during the six months ended June 30, 2008 to facilitate the transition from a current basis to an arrears basis. The remainder of the increase is the result of increases in staff.

 

Net occupancy expense increased by $1.2 million or 74.5% from $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 to $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, net occupancy expense increased $630,000 or 78.7% to $1.4 million. The increases are the result of the Company’s growth as well as maintenance and improvements of the Company’s facilities. As growth efforts continue to progress, the Company anticipates higher levels of occupancy expense to be incurred. The consolidation of Southern Trust Mortgage contributed $880,000 to the increase in net occupancy expense.

 

Other tax expense increased 1.6% to $320,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $315,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. Other tax expense includes the state franchise tax paid by Middleburg Bank and Middleburg Trust Company in lieu of an income tax. The tax is based on each subsidiary’s equity capital at January 1st, net of adjustments, respectively.

Advertising expense increased $228,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $179,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, advertising expense was $305,000, compared to $90,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The increases were related to several new advertising campaigns.

 

32

 


Computer operations expense was relatively unchanged at $546,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to $543,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The consolidation of Southern Trust Mortgage contributed $23,000 to the increase in computer operations expense.

 

Legal expense increased $169,000 to $387,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $218,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase is the result of additional legal fees incurred by Middleburg Bank. The consolidation of Southern Trust Mortgage contributed $37,000 to the increase in legal expense.

 

Other expense increased 63.1% or $1.3 million to $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008 from $2.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The consolidation of Southern Trust Mortgage contributed $927,000 to the increase in other expense. The additional increase resulted from small increases in various expense categories, including advertising, office supplies, recruiting, courier services and business entertainment, due to the Company’s growth.

 

Allowance for Loan Losses

 

The allowance for loan losses at June 30, 2008 was $9.8 million, or 1.4% of total loans, compared to $6.1 million, or 1.0% of total loans at June 30, 2007. The provision for loan losses was $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008, compared to $559,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007. The increase in the provision is the result of a decision by management to increase Middleburg Bank’s allowance from 1.1% to 1.2% of total loans during 2008, as well as the consolidation of Southern Trust Mortgage, which had an allowance of 3.8% of its total loans at June 30, 2008. For the three months ended June 30, 2008, the provision for loan losses was $2.3 million, compared to $407,000 for the same period in 2007. For the six months ended June 30, 2008, net loan charge-offs totaled $3.0 million, compared to net loan charge-offs of $31,000 for the same period in 2007. There were $2.7 million in loans past due 90 days or more at June 30, 2008, compared to $23,000 at June 30, 2007. Non-performing loans were $6.9 million at June 30, 2008, compared to $1.3 million at June 30, 2007. Given the increase in problem loans, continued uncertainty in the economy, and the current nationwide credit crisis, the Company deemed it prudent to strengthen its allowance for loan losses. It is anticipated there could be an increase in non performing loans, but it is not believed the increase will be as dramatic as that experienced in the first half of 2008. Management believes that the allowance for loan losses was adequate to cover credit losses inherent in the loan portfolio at June 30, 2008. Loans classified as loss, doubtful, substandard or special mention are adequately reserved for and are not expected to have a material impact beyond what has been reserved.

 

Capital Resources

 

Shareholders’ equity at June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007 was $73.1 million and $77.9 million, respectively. Total common shares outstanding at June 30, 2008 were 4,526,817.

 

At June 30, 2008, the Company’s tier 1 and total risk-based capital ratios were 10.3% and 11.6%, respectively, compared to 11.6% and 12.6% at December 31, 2007. The Company’s leverage ratio was 8.4% at June 30, 2008 compared to 9.4% at December 31, 2007. The Company’s capital structure places it above the well capitalized regulatory guidelines, which affords the Company the opportunity to take advantage of business opportunities while ensuring that it has the resources to protect against risk inherent in its business.

 

Liquidity

 

Liquidity represents an institution’s ability to meet present and future financial obligations through either the sale or maturity of existing assets or the acquisition of additional funds through liability management. Liquid assets include cash, interest-bearing deposits with banks, federal funds sold, short-

 

33

 


term investments, securities classified as available for sale and loans and securities maturing within one year. As a result of the Company’s management of liquid assets and the ability to generate liquidity through liability funding, management believes that the Company maintains overall liquidity sufficient to satisfy its depositors’ requirements and meet its customers’ credit needs.

 

The Company has relied on wholesale funding and issued trust preferred securities to support its growth in the past. The Company will continue to evaluate funding alternatives as necessary to support future growth.

 

The Company also maintains additional sources of liquidity through a variety of borrowing arrangements. The Company maintains federal funds lines with large regional and money-center banking institutions. These available lines totaled $8.0 million, none of which were outstanding at June 30, 2008. Federal funds purchased during the first six months of 2008 averaged $543,000 compared to an average of $517,000 during the same period in 2007. At June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, the Company had $51.0 million and $51.8 million, respectively, of outstanding borrowings pursuant to repurchase agreements, with maturities of one day.

 

The Company has a credit line in the amount of $197.3 million at the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. This line may be utilized for short and/or long-term borrowing. The Company utilized the credit line for overnight, short-term and long-term funding throughout the first six months of 2008. Short-term and long-term advances averaged $52.5 million and $103.6 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2008.

 

At June 30, 2008, cash, interest-bearing deposits with financial institutions, federal funds sold, short-term investments, loans held for sale and securities available for sale were 35.6% of total deposits.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements and Contractual Obligations

 

Commitments to extend credit decreased $3.7 million to $101.1 million at June 30, 2008 compared to $97.4 million at December 31, 2007. Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract. Commitments generally have fixed expiration dates or other termination clauses and may require payment of a fee. Since many of the commitments are expected to expire without being drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent expected future cash flows. Standby letters of credit were $3.1 million at June 30, 2008. This amount is a decrease from $3.3 million at December 31, 2007.

 

Contractual obligations decreased $4.0 million to $129.0 million at June 30, 2008 compared to $133.0 million at December 31, 2007. This change results from maturities on certain long-term debt obligations and decreases in operating lease obligations. Additional information on commitments to extend credit, standby letters of credit and contractual obligations is included in the 2007 Form 10-K.

Item 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

Market risk is the risk of loss in a financial instrument arising from adverse changes in market rates or prices such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, commodity prices and equity prices. The Company’s primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk, though it should be noted that the assets under administration by Middleburg Trust Company are affected by equity price risk. The ongoing monitoring and management of this risk is an important component of the Company’s asset/liability management process, which is governed by policies established by its Board of Directors that are reviewed and approved annually. The Board of Directors delegates responsibility for carrying out asset/liability management policies to the Asset/Liability Committee (“ALCO”) of the Bank. In this capacity, ALCO develops guidelines and strategies that govern the Company’s asset/liability management related activities, based upon estimated market risk sensitivity, policy limits and overall market interest rate levels and trends.

 

Interest rate risk represents the sensitivity of earnings to changes in market interest rates. As interest rates change, the interest income and expense streams associated with the Company’s financial instruments also change, affecting net interest income, the primary component of the Company’s earnings. ALCO uses the results of a detailed and dynamic simulation model to quantify the estimated exposure of net interest income to sustained interest rate changes. While ALCO routinely monitors simulated net interest income sensitivity over a rolling two-year horizon, it also employs additional tools

 

35

 


to monitor potential longer-term interest rate risk. The model prepared for June 30, 2008 did not include the assets and liabilities of Southern Trust Mortgage.

 

The simulation model captures the impact of changing interest rates on the interest income received and interest expense paid on all assets and liabilities reflected on the Company’s balance sheet. The simulation model is prepared and updated four times during each year. This sensitivity analysis is compared to ALCO policy limits, which specify a maximum tolerance level for net interest income exposure over a one-year horizon, assuming no balance sheet growth, given a 200 basis point (bp) upward shift and a 200 basis point downward shift in interest rates. A parallel shift in rates over a 12-month period is assumed. The following reflects the Company’s net interest income sensitivity analysis as of June 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007.

At June 30, 2008, the Company’s interest rate risk model indicated that, in a rising rate environment of 200 basis points over a 12 month period, net interest income could decrease by 2.1% on average. For the same time period the interest rate risk model indicated that in a declining rate environment of 200 basis points over a 12 month period net interest income could increase by 0.3% on average. While these numbers are subjective based upon the parameters used within the model, management believes the balance sheet is very balanced with little risk to rising rates in the future.

 

Since December 31, 2007, the Company’s balance sheet has grown by $107.0 million. The consolidation of Southern Trust Mortgage, along with new brokered certificates of deposit has provided the funding for the growth in the loan portfolio. The Company’s interest rate profile is symmetrical for the next 12 months. Based upon a June 30, 2008 simulation, the Company could expect an average negative impact to net interest income of $643,000 over the next 12 months if rates rise 200 basis points. If rates were to decline 200 basis points, the Company could expect an average negative impact to net interest income of $84,000 over the next 12 months.

 

The Company maintains an interest rate risk management strategy that has used derivative instruments to minimize significant, unanticipated earnings fluctuations caused by interest rate volatility. The Company’s specific goal is to lower (where possible) the cost of its borrowed funds.

 

The preceding sensitivity analysis does not represent a forecast and should not be relied upon as being indicative of expected operating results. These hypothetical estimates are based upon numerous assumptions, including the nature and timing of interest rate levels such as yield curve shape, prepayments on loans and securities, deposit decay rates, pricing decisions on loans and deposits, reinvestment or replacement of asset and liability cashflows. While assumptions are developed based upon current economic and local market conditions, the Company cannot make any assurances about the predictive nature of these assumptions, including how customer preferences or competitor influences might change.

 

Also, as market conditions vary from those assumed in the sensitivity analysis, actual results will also differ due to factors such as prepayment and refinancing levels likely deviating from those assumed, the varying impact of interest rate change, caps or floors on adjustable rate assets, the potential effect of

changing debt service levels on customers with adjustable rate loans, depositor early withdrawals and product preference changes, and other internal and external variables. Furthermore, the sensitivity analysis does not reflect actions that ALCO might take in response to, or in anticipation of, changes in interest rates.

 

Item 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

As of the end of the period covered by this report, the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Company’s management, including the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information relating to the Company (including its consolidated subsidiaries) required to be included in the Company’s periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

The Company’s management is also responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation of it that occurred during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
